Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to your full product? For this part of the evaluation, I have decided to do a directors commentary. This entailed me pausing my preliminary task and discussing each part, focusing on how my skills have progressed and improved since, in comparison to my final piece:  https://youtu.be/ca-ulp5bK24 Upon reflection, I think it is clear how not only my understanding of media has developed, but I have also greatly improved upon my technical skills too. I think my greatest improvement has been in how I have framed my shots, as I have become more conscious on getting every single frame to look good. This was also helped by producing a storyboard for both my preliminary and my film opening. Other skills I have gained from the production process is how to use a Steadicam, how to edit the volume on a section of the soundtrack, how to use time lapse (both slow and fast motion)...

What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product? For this evaluation activity, I used another Prezi Presentation: https://prezi.com/p/qilntwhqirxx/

Who would be the audience for your media product? BBFC Age Rating As a result of carrying out a focus group, questionnaire and audience feedback, I have found that rating my film an 18 (according to the bbfc guidelines) would be the most suitable. This is because  I plan to include scenes in which characters are breaking the law through frequent drug use, extreme violence and general criminal activity. Although I realise this slightly restricts the size of my audience, including this is important because drug use and violence are key features of a crime film. As a result of this, my audience will be more mature, and therefore have different characteristics to the typical audience of a 15 age rated film for example. Below are character profiles on the types of people I would target my film towards: Secondary Audience A secondary audience is the second most important segment of people to target. As they are not a primary target, they are slightly less imp...

What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why? For this section of my evaluation, I created an online powerpoint, using Prezi: https://prezi.com/p/qiuktoxljtng/
